connecting an intel 530T switch to a pc

Does anyone know how to connect the intel 530T gigabit port to a pc? If so, what interface card would I need to put in the pc? I know I could connect one to the front cat5e as normal but the pc I want to connect is my server, as such I want it to go on the gigabit port so it can be accessed by everyoe through this.

Thanks
 
According to the web, the Intel 530T has two gigabit ports in a module on the back.

What kind of server do you have, with what kind of slots and what type of built-in Ethernet?
 
It's not a server as such, merely a pc full tower with gigabit cat5 LAN ports on the back.

edit: those ports are not the same as the kind on the module on the back of the switch.
 
I have no idea to be honest, I have never seen this sort before, but then I have only ever seen the RJ45 kind they aren't like those though. It looks like it's for some kind of fibre optic cable or such. I think it's the mx or sx module.

There are a series of 24 RJ45 LAN ports on the front if that's right.
 
There are fiber network cards, but a consumer gigabit switch actually costs less. OTOH, just connecting to one of the standard RJ45s on the Intel is probably adequate.
